From 86ec5ec872566dda74848e09904bb5380cab962e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:14:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_client-list.patch This goes on top of the patch removing most i2c_adapter.clients usage, updating i2c_attach_client: - Don't call device_register() while holding clist_lock. This removes a self-deadlock when on the i2c_driver.probe() path, for drivers that need to attach new devices (e.g. dummies). - Remove a redundant address check. The driver model core does this as a consequence of guaranteeing unique names. - Move the "device registered" diagnostic so that it never lies; previously, on error paths it would falsely report success.
